Event Details
This Family Day weekend, Green Thumb Theatre is thrilled to present a free performance of the play 500 Words on Saturday, February 15, 2025, by veteran Canadian artist and playwright Jamie Norris.
During a weekend meant to celebrate the importance of families and family life to people and their communities, we’re proud to offer an opportunity for these families and communities to come together and enjoy this funny and heartwarming play.
500 Words follows the story of an unlikely pair, Lance and Sylvia. Lance is the smartest kid in grade six and never misses an opportunity to show off his vocabulary. Sylvia is a daydreamer in grade three, always coming up with fantastical worlds, but she doesn’t always have the words to bring her stories to life. When Lance’s teacher assigns Sylvia as his reading buddy, he would instead focus on writing a prize-winning entry for the school’s story competition. But when Lance can’t think of a story on his own, Sylvia’s vibrant imagination creates a whole world of magic for him to draw inspiration from.
